“When Christian believers care more for their own interests and security than for the good and salvation of other races and ethnicities, they are sinning like Jonah. If they value the economic and military flourishing of their country over the good of the human race and the furtherance of God’s work in the world, they are sinning like Jonah. Their identity is more rooted in their race and nationality than in being saved sinners and children of God.”
― Timothy J. Keller, The Prodigal Prophet: Jonah and the Mystery of God's Mercy

“All the ancient myths are the refraction and splintering of God's true white light into the many colors we see throughout the world. We write myths because our hears were written by a mythmaker.”
― John Hendrix

“The old man smiled. 'I shall not die of a cold, my son. I shall die of having lived.”

“For money you can have everything it is said. No, that is not true. You can buy food, but not appetite; medicine, but not health; soft beds, but not sleep; knowledge but not intelligence; glitter, but not comfort; fun, but not pleasure; acquaintances, but not friendship; servants, but not faithfulness; grey hair, but not honor; quiet days, but not peace. The shell of all things you can get for money. But not the kernel. That cannot be had for money.”
― Arne Garborg
